What Is Sand Soccer Anyways?

HISTORY
Over the past decade, Beach Soccer or Sand Soccer has journeyed from the beaches of Brazil to the hearts of millions of fans all over the globe. The participation of internationally renowned players such as flamboyant Frenchman Eric Cantona , legendary Spanish strikers Michel and Julio Salinas and Brazilian samba stars such as Romario , Junior and Zico has helped to expand television coverage to large audiences in over 170 countries worldwide, making Sand Soccer one of the fastest growing professional sports in the world and converting it into a major showcase for international commercial opportunity.

Sand Soccer had been played recreationally all over the world for many years and in many different formats but it wasn't until 1992 that the laws of the game were envisioned and a pilot event staged in Los Angeles . The following summer, the first professional beach soccer competition was organized at Miami Beach, with teams from the USA, Brazil, Argentina and Italy taking part in what would turn out to be an historic event.

In April 1994 the first event to be covered by network television transmissions was held on the Copacabana Beach in Rio DE Janeiro and the city hosted the inaugural Sand Soccer World Championship one year later. The competition was won by the host nation, making Brazil the first ever World Champions of Seach Soccer. The success of the tournament saw commercial interest begin to match developments on the pitch and growing demand for the sport around the world gave rise to the Pro Beach Soccer Tour in 1996.

The first Pro Sand Soccer Tour included a total of 60 games in two years across South America, Europe, Asia and the USA , attracting major names both on and off the pitch. Interest generated by the tour in Europe led to the creation of the European Pro Beach Soccer League in 1998, providing a solid infrastructure that would increase the professionalism of the spectacle on all levels. The EPBSL , now known as the Euro BS League, united promoters from across the continent and satisfied the demands of the media, sponsors and fans. Only four years on from its creation, the successful first step in the building of a legitimate Worldwide Competition Structure for the sport of Pro Sand Soccer had been taken.

The euro SS league flourished, with a nail-biting 2000 season decided in the closing match of the final tournament when Spain beat Portugal in an intense encounter.

The next four years would see this growth consolidated by further progress both on and off the pitch, with the Euro BS League emerging as the strongest Pro Beach Soccer competition in the world. By 2004, some 17 nations had entered teams, and 20 in 2005, leading to more than seventy countries looking to stage events.

Since 2005, Sand Soccer has been a part of the FIFA family. In May, the first FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup was staged on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro . The event was fantastic opportunity for fans to watch the top stars of the sport, including Neném, ( Brazil ), Amarelle ( Spain ), Madjer ( Portugal ), Meier ( Switzerland ) and Sciortino (France). To everyone's surprise, France defeated Portugal in the final, after disposing of favourites Brazil in the semis.
